The only part remaining from the original church built in 1330 by the Order of St. Antony is the impressive chancel. Together with the Carmelite Church and the Church of the Rich Clares, it is one of only three remaining monastic churches going back to the Gothic period. From 1620 to the time of secularisation in 1802, it was the church of the adjacent monastery of the Poor Clares. The single-nave church features a complete cycle of wall murals from the original building, the only such work preserved in Mainz. The paintings were exposed and…
The cellar lane runs along the southern retaining wall of the market square. Here are the entrances to twelve vaulted cellars, which were mentioned as early as 1600 and reach far below the market square. They form part of the previously widely branched and interconnected cellar system, another special feature of the winemaker's location. Even today, some of the cellars are used for wine storage and can be visited during the annual wine cellar wine cellar tour.
This trullo belongs to the Beyer-Bähr winery and was newly built. The trullo was given its name because the daughter of the winegrower re-embodied the figure of Frl. v. Flersheim for the first time. "A beautiful lady knight and a simple shepherd. She is from the von Flersheim family, a widely branched noble family to which the name of the district of Flörsheim as well as the 16th century residential tower there goes back. And he....? It is not known where its origins lay. So it is hardly surprising that this love story ended…
A community bakehouse was mentioned in Wackernheim as early as 1394. The last one was built around 1840, after the old baking oven and the building were in a very poor condition. According to old tradition, the house, including the oven and the garden, was leased to a baker at an annual interest. The baker was responsible for the maintenance of the bakehouse. The stone oven was built on the north side of the house. To the east was the associated bakehouse garden. The baker made the desired number of loaves of bread from the flour brought to…

The baptismal church of Hildegard of Bingen in Bermersheim v.d.H. has been used repeatedly since the Reformation and finally to the present day as a Simultankirche - a church used separately by both denominations. This is a Franken characteristic and it stands under the patron of Saint Martinus.
Next to the semicircular apse of the Aula regia (Throne Hall), an archaeological shelter was erected in 2000. The accessible steel and glass construction preserves the extraordinarily well-preserved remains of a 12th-century Staufer heating system. Due to its shape, size and its condition, it is a unique testimony to the history of high medieval technology. Detailed information on this heating system is provided on information boards on and in the protective structure. The key to the shelter can be borrowed from the visitor centre and the…
The town, situated at the foot of the Petersberg, had the rights of a free Reichsstadt in the Middle Ages. From this former importance the large church building, which replaced a previous, similarly constructed building, where relics of the holy bishop Rufus from Metz were worshipped, testifies its former importance. Due to the closure of the vault arches the church has been divided into an evangelical (nave) and catholic part (chancel) since 1705. The two part flat-roofed nave was erected by Johann von Diepach in 1420. Here the north aisle…
